Spending time in a neighborhood can tell you a lot about it, but not everything; you also need to do some research. Ask yourself, "What kind of neighborhood do I want to live in?" Depending on your particular needs and preferences, some factors may be more important than others, including:
- Neighborhood Profile: Research neighborhood aspects such as population density and the level of commercial development.
- Household Data: Take into account family type, average household income and homeowner education level and occupation.
- Crime Rate: Crime is an unfortunate reality we must all deal with. Probably no neighborhood is totally immune from the risk of crime, but you can make an educated decision about where to live by researching these details.
- Quality of Schools: Even if this doesn't matter to you now, remember that this is an important factor for resale value. Base your evaluation on school performance, as determined by average test scores, graduation rates, spending per student, and the percentage of college-bound students and national merit scholars.
- Amenities: What features you want in a neighborhood will be determined by the lifestyle you lead. Amenities to consider include shopping, transportation, parks and recreation, restaurants and nightlife, cultural institutions, and natural resources, such as nature preserves.
